How does the game choose the "one hobby"
angelyne:
Has anyone figured this out yet?
I just moved 7 sims into a college dorm, all payables from my neighborhoods. Most had not been played before FT, so they had not acquired any interests yet.
I've let them loose in the dorm and a couple have found their one true hobby. However there seems to be a disproportionate amount of sports lovers in the bunch. So I'm really curious as to how the game picks their one true hobby.
Jelenedra:
Supposedly, it's a combination of personality and interest. This has not been tested though. If you dislike their current OTH, you might try the lot debugger and reselect a new one for them.
jolrei:
I have been playing upgraded pre-FT sims for the most part, so they already had skills and interests. My impression is that the one-true-hobby is at least partly a function of skills. If you read the hobby descriptions, they say something like: "sims with high logic skills will be more likely to enjoy X hobby" or some such. I generally ignore this and check the OTH with lot-debugger. I often change it (for example if there is a household of 4 sims and 3 of them have a Science OTH - just too boring to have everyone doing the same damn thing.)
pixiejuice:
Yes, I've been changing mine too. Probably 75% of my pre-existing sims ended up liking fitness. I haven't had many babies born since FT, but I'm hoping when the next generation comes along it's more random.

I've been assigning them at toddlerhood with Paladin's vase OTH adjuster. I wanted them to have specific hobbies, based on the plot I'm working on.
